Chapter 128: The Power of the Three-Tails Is Not So Easily Controlled
As she spoke, she launched a powerful Crystal Release attack, closing in on Kakashi and Naruto. Kakashi immediately deployed Chidori to counter the Crystal Release. However, Guren's Crystal Release seemed even more powerful than before, and Kakashi was gradually finding it difficult to hold his ground.
"Naruto, get out of the way!" Kakashi shouted.
However, Naruto's vision was obscured by Guren's Crystal Release, and he couldn't dodge the attack in time. At the critical moment, Shino appeared just in time, using his Kikaichu to disrupt the Crystal Release attack.
"Shino, you came just in time!" Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't celebrate too early, Kakashi." A cold, sinister voice drifted over. "The game has only just begun."
Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Kabuto standing not far away, a cold smile on his face.
"Kabuto!" Kakashi's expression darkened. "You really are here."
Kabuto sneered. "Kakashi, did you think you could stop me? let me tell you, Yugito's power far exceeds your imagination. By using him, I can make the Three-Tails go completely berserk and destroy your Four-Corner Sealing Barrier!"
Hearing this, Guren's expression changed. She didn't want to see Yugito being used, nor did she want to see Konoha destroyed.
"Kabuto, I have already done what I promised you," Guren said coldly. "You promised me you wouldn't hurt Yugito."
Kabuto smiled. "Guren, you really are a clever woman. But do you think you can control everything? The power of the Three-Tails is not so easily controlled."
Just then, the Three-Tails suddenly became violent and charged toward Guren.
"Lady Guren!" Yugito cried out, wanting to rush forward to save her.
However, Guren stood rooted to the spot, closing her eyes.
"Yugito..." Guren whispered. "I'm sorry..."
Just as the Three-Tails' attack was about to hit Guren, Yugito suddenly erupted with a powerful force, knocking the Three-Tails back.
"Lady Guren!" Yugito ran to Guren's side and helped her up.
Guren looked at Yugito, a gratified smile appearing on her face.
"You did it, Yugito," Guren said softly. "You saved me."
However, at that moment, Kabuto suddenly appeared and grabbed Guren by the neck.
"Guren, did you think you could get rid of me that easily?" Kabuto sneered. "I'm telling you, I already know your secret. If you don't want Yugito to know about your past, then cooperate with me obediently!"
Guren's face changed, and she gritted her teeth tightly.
"Kabuto, you..." Guren looked at Kabuto with hatred. "You won't come to a good end!"
"Guren... you..."
Kabuto gave a cold laugh and increased the pressure of his grip. "Guren, what is your choice? To continue protecting your secret, or to watch Yugito be used by me?"
At that moment, Naruto suddenly rushed over and threw a punch at Kabuto.
"Let go of Guren!" Naruto roared. "You won't get your way!"
Kabuto was thrown off balance by Naruto's sudden attack and released his grip on Guren's neck. Guren took the chance to break free and hid to the side with Yugito.
While everyone's attention was on Kabuto, the Three-Tails suddenly launched a fierce attack. It opened its massive mouth and swallowed both Naruto and Guren!
"Naruto!"
"Lady Guren!"
In total darkness, Naruto and Guren fell into the Three-Tails' stomach together. They searched everywhere for an exit, but the interior of the Three-Tails was filled with viscous fluid and writhing fleshy walls, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Guren, what do we do?" Naruto asked anxiously.
Guren frowned deeply and tried to break the Three-Tails' flesh with Crystal Release, but it was useless.
"We have to cooperate for now," Guren said in a low voice. "We must find a way out."
Thus, the two began searching for an exit inside the Three-Tails. During the search, they had to exchange information and skills to better deal with the Three-Tails' attacks.
It was also during this process that Naruto learned the secret Guren had buried in her heart for years—she was once a subordinate of Orochimaru, forced to execute various cruel missions. And Yugito was a child she had rescued from Orochimaru's experiments; since then, the two had depended on each other for survival.
At the same time, Guren also learned that Naruto was the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox. She was surprised that Naruto could face his identity so calmly and use his power to protect those around him.
"Naruto, you really are an incredible person," Guren remarked. "You have strength and courage that I cannot compare to."
"Lady Guren is also amazing," Yugito's voice interrupted Naruto's thoughts. "She has always been protecting me, not letting me get hurt."
"Yugito..." Guren looked at the child who had always been by her side, a warm current welling up in her heart.
"Now is not the time to be praising each other," Naruto said. "We have to hurry and find a way out!"
Finally, they discovered a weak point inside the Three-Tails and, combining their strength with Crystal Release and Rasengan, they broke through the Three-Tails' fleshy wall and burst out!
